[18:04]<@BC_Programming> yay paypal transfer finally complete
[18:07]<Craig-test> hahahah soooo delayed
[18:10]<@BC_Programming> the WD Red is all like NAS and stuff, it is just a standard HD though isn't it?
[18:10]<@BC_Programming> I found this for cheaper, same size http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=7839270&CatId=139
[18:10]<Craig-test> Red drives are designed for 24/7 usage,
[18:11]<Craig-test> different warranty as well
[18:11]<Craig-test> normal drives are designed for 4-8 hrs of use a day
[18:11]<@BC_Programming> and Seagate has failed me :P
[18:12]<Craig-test> :P
[18:12]<@BC_Programming> OK heeere we go! ordering the SSD and WD drive :D
[18:12]<Craig-test> :)
[18:13]<@BC_Programming> 71 dollars tax wow
[18:14]<@BC_Programming> I'm quadruple checking the address heh
[18:19]<@BC_Programming> There we are then, new SSD and 4TB ordered :D
[18:29]<+camerongray> nice!
[18:29]<+camerongray> What SSD?
[18:36]<@BC_Programming> I went with a seagate one, it was a bit cheaper than the same size crucial
[18:36]<@BC_Programming> though I think I meant to get the crucial anyway, oh well
[18:37]<@BC_Programming> Seagate 600 Series 480GB

[19:01]<+camerongray> Cool, never new seagate did them
[19:02]<+camerongray> Calum will probably tell you you should have got the Crucial :P
[19:03]<@BC_Programming> ha, turns out they were the same price
[19:03]<+camerongray> lol
[19:03]<+camerongray> Sure you could cancel the order and swap them
[19:03]<+camerongray> Personally I would say the Crucial is the better drive
[19:04]<@BC_Programming> then I'll get a crucial for the build when I do it :P
[19:04]<@BC_Programming> this is just in the meantime so I'm not limping along with nowhere to store files
[19:10]<+camerongray> Isn't that a bit daft though?
[19:10]<+camerongray> Surely just get the Crucial first off :P
[19:10]<@BC_Programming> No
[19:10]<+camerongray> But then you have 2 massive SSDs
[19:11]<@BC_Programming> in two different computers :D
[19:11]<+camerongray> lol, true
[19:11]<+camerongray> But it's a very expensive drive :P
[19:11]<@BC_Programming> assuming I <do> build, of course. Might end up that is a ways off. Main reason I wanted to build was because of issues that I'm pretty sure are from a 3-year old Windows install paired with failing hard drives
[19:12]<+camerongray> Yeah
[19:12]<@BC_Programming> with the new HDs that won't be an issue since it will be a fresh install and fresh drives
[19:12]<+camerongray> Calum may kill you though :P
[19:12]<@BC_Programming> Oh the seagate does come with a SATA cable
[19:12]<+camerongray> lol
[19:12]<@BC_Programming> yeah that changes everything
[19:13]<@BC_Programming> at least I didn't get the 4TB seagate. went with WD
[19:13]<+camerongray> Hmm, I prefer Seagate drives :P
[19:13]<+camerongray> New laptop comes on Tuesday :D
[19:13]<@BC_Programming> well mine failed and this one is having troubles even though according to HDD health it's fine
[19:14]<+camerongray> Currently in Kazakhstan :P
[19:14]<@BC_Programming> So Seagate is going to need to earn back my trust- yeah that's why I got the SSD, so they can redeem themselves
[19:14]<+camerongray> Been through both China and then South Korea
[19:14]<+camerongray> It's like an adventure to see where it goes
[19:14]<@BC_Programming> where did it come from originally
[19:15]<+camerongray> China
[19:39]<@BC_Programming> I shall now spend what's left in paypal on trying to replace the console games I sold

[22:54]<Craig-test> Hey BC, how goes it?
[22:55]<@BC_Programming> hey Craig
[22:55]<Craig-test> How goes it, what are you up to?
[22:55]<@BC_Programming> Working on Clerk Entry
[22:56]<@BC_Programming> our programs have really stupid names
[22:56]<Craig-test> :P hahahaha,
[22:56]<Craig-test> thats just due to their lack of innovation compared to you. :P
[22:56]<@BC_Programming> Email Export that has nothing to do with Emails, a Program just called "Tender" which handles payment types
[22:56]<Craig-test> With your sense of humor, they could never compete.
[22:56]<Craig-test> :P
[22:57]<Craig-test> Unless its to export, in preparation for e-mailing? :P
[22:57]<@BC_Programming> well I've not named any, I think our clients may frown on instructions to run Purple Monkey version 2
[22:57]<Craig-test> BAHAHAHAHAhahahahahahahaha
[22:57]<@BC_Programming> "Purple Monkey"? Yeah, duh, it's the program for handling Moorage reports
[22:57]<Craig-test> :P
[22:58]<@BC_Programming> I won't lie though I have been tempted to add April Fools Easter Eggs that do something like change all the Window Icons from the company logo to something else
[22:58]<Craig-test> Synergy is awesome compared to the old way of controlling the computers :P
[22:58]<Craig-test> My Linux machine is useful. To control it with my windows machine is even more awesome!
[22:58]<Craig-test> Hahahaha that would be awesome
[22:59]<@BC_Programming> Did I mention I ordered the two Hard drive today?
[22:59]<Craig-test> Yeah, you said you were going with the red, and an SSD
[22:59]<@BC_Programming> yep
[22:59]<Craig-test> Its gonna be aewsom
[22:59]<Craig-test> Awesome*
[22:59]<@BC_Programming> will have to partition the 4TB or use GPT
[23:00]<@BC_Programming> which should I go with
[23:00]<Craig-test> GPT is a good choice if your going windows, since the full drive will be accessable.
[23:01]<@BC_Programming> oh ok
[23:01]<Craig-test> Actually with updates, windows can use the mbr to access the drive, but GPT makes it more compatible.
[23:02]<Craig-test> if its not going to be the boot drive, then its almost irrelivant.
[23:02]<@BC_Programming> yeah SSD is going to be boot obviously :P
[23:02]<Craig-test> :P
[23:02]<@BC_Programming> 4TB is for downloading... uh... Linux distros
[23:02]<Craig-test> But 6 3TB drives in a raid 6 would be faster.
[23:02]<Craig-test> Bahahahaha :P
[23:02]<@BC_Programming> still have my failed hard drive sitting here on my desk
[23:03]<Craig-test> :P
[23:03]<Craig-test> We have a company in Calgary here that could recover the data
[23:03]<@BC_Programming> if I'm lucky it will work again, I must admit I wasn't very thorough
[23:03]<Craig-test> :P
[23:03]<@BC_Programming> I rebooted twice and just decided to remove it because I was trying to do work and it was all "imma hang your PC now"
[23:03]<Craig-test> hahahahah
[23:04]<Craig-test> I've had that problem at work trying to test drives. :P
[23:04]<Craig-test> We use hotswap now. :P
[23:04]<@BC_Programming> I'll probably reconnect it as a tertiary once I get the SSD and 4TB setup
[23:05]<@BC_Programming> thankfully I will have an extra SATA cable since the SSD comes with one
[23:05]<Craig-test> You should get an e-sata or USB3 bay, connecting it that way would be as good as direct to Sata bus
[23:05]<Craig-test> :P
[23:05]<Craig-test> back in a moment.
[23:17]<@BC_Programming> I also 'bought back' SNES Zelda from eBay. it came with the NES Zelda also even though I don't have an NES I figured why not
[23:28]<Craig-test> hahahahaha
[23:28]<Craig-test> Bought back?
[23:28]<@BC_Programming> well I sold my copy at a garage sale
[23:28]<@BC_Programming> back in the bad times
[23:28]<@BC_Programming> so I bought another one... of course now I guess I need to get an NES too
[23:29]<@BC_Programming> or I could get this
[23:31]<@BC_Programming> apparently there are adapters to play NES games on an SNES, but I think they are just NES on a chip systems that draw power from the cartridge slot
[23:31]<Craig-test> :P
[23:31]<Craig-test> Ahhh
[23:31]<@BC_Programming> and they are as pricey as an NES system
[23:32]<Craig-test> Yup
[23:32]<@BC_Programming> I'd like an NES2 but... holy heck 250 dollars? Nope
[23:34]<@BC_Programming> I could be really dumb and get one of the cheap faulty consoles
[23:34]<@BC_Programming> then realize I'm an idiot because I havent a clue how to fix them
[23:35]<Craig-test> http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Nes-system-with-4-games-and-two-controllers-/171176338992?pt=Video_Games&hash=item27dae7a630&_uhb=1
[23:35]<@BC_Programming> yeah I'm all about buy it now though
[23:36]<Craig-test> :P
[23:36]<@BC_Programming> though really I don't need an NES just because I have the game amirite? I mean I have two copies of Mario Paint and no SNES mouse
[23:37]<Craig-test> :P hahahahah too true
[23:37]<@BC_Programming> I just wanted the SNES game, the NES throw-in was nice and maybe one day I'll get an NES to add to my "games I like but never seem to play" collection
[23:37]<@BC_Programming> which will also require me to get all 6 megamans
[23:37]<Craig-test> :P
[23:38]<Craig-test> I just want the controllers from think geek, and then I will play them on my computer, with my wife. :P
[23:38]<@BC_Programming> there are adapters for the actual controllers too, those are pretty cheap
[23:38]<@BC_Programming> though of course they are only cheap if you already have the controllers
[23:39]<Craig-test> :) hahaha yeah
[23:40]<@BC_Programming> http://www.ebay.ca/itm/1-x-Nintendo-NES-USB-Controllers-for-PC-MAC-Classic-Famicom-New-SEALED-Computer-/161155574698?pt=US_Video_Game_Controllers&hash=item25859eebaa
[23:41]<Craig-test> Thats an epic fine
[23:41]<Craig-test> find(
[23:41]<Craig-test> *
[23:41]<@BC_Programming> there is actually a lot of funky aftermarket stuff. portable SNES and NES systems, adapters to play GBA and NES games on the SNES, adapters to play Genesis games on the SNES even
[23:41]<Craig-test> yeah
[23:45]<@BC_Programming> Super Metroid kicks ass, probably the second best game I have at the moment after Chrono Trigger
[23:45]<Craig-test> Yeah, it was epic
[23:45]<@BC_Programming> I may have to play through it again this weekend :P
[23:47]<@BC_Programming> Also there are some projects coming up and if I work extra to get them done a bit faster I can either get a bonus over top of overtime or I can get hardware
